You should be in for some fun. January can't come soon enough for me here. We set our perm. shack up on a hump. Tops out at 24, with 30-40' around it. Nestor Falls isn't much different in that sense. However, if they aren't going on the humps (try lots), then move to the points, drill lots, and cover the depths from 12-40'. Jig, a minnow and your electronics is all you need.

Hemlock,

Let me know when you have them located..lol. I would really like to try some of them areas around where we fished on the English this summer. I bet that would be hot but there is way to much moving water in that area.

Ahhh, I don't think that where we were fishing last summer has or ever will be frozen. That water was moving pretty good. I'll see what I can find out as far as ice fishing goes up that way Jeff. That would be fun to find those big walleyes through the ice. laugh.gif

I know that further to the west they do some ice fishing. Maybe Separation Lake area. I believe that the In-Fish crew fishes up that way some place.

I know that spot we found the bigger fish in would never freeze. The water there was really moving...lol

Well that would be good BUT...there is not a boat landing for 6 miles from that spot and that one is iced in. This is one of them spots in a river system that has a funnel (natural fish holding area) in it. That entire area would be pretty dangrous to fish on the ice or even close to it I would think.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
